Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for work surface
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan margarine, plus extra for brushing
  • 1/2 cup soy, almond or rice milk, plus more as needed
  • 1 cup vegan margarine, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Method

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add margarine and cut it roughly into flour using a pastry cutter, until mixture is the texture of coarse meal with a few larger margarine lumps.
  • Work quickly so the margarine does not melt.
  • Add nondairy milk and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Do not overwork.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into an oblong shape, about 1 inch thick.
  • Using a 2 1/2-inch floured cookie or biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits out and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops lightly with melted margarine and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden.
  • Remove biscuits from oven immediately and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Make the maple butter: In a mixing bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, whip margarine with maple syrup until light and fluffy.
  • Refrigerate until serving.
